Review of Independent Minds: Richard Russo

A great piece about not only the making of the film 'Empire Falls' itself, but the process writers, directors, producers, and actors go through to put together a story on film. Through interviews and sound clips from other films, we learn how novels are adapted to screenplays and how and why certain decisions are made in all departments to create a final cut. It is a great audio seminar with some very creative people.
